[0020] The following will describe the implementation methods of the present application in detail with the help of accompanying drawings and examples, so that the implementation process of how the present application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a squirrel-proof intelligent bird feeder, including a box body 1 for storing bird food, the top of the box body 1 is open, and a herringbone box top 101 is detachably installed on the top of the box body 1 by bolts, a feeding trough body 2 is fixedly connected to the lower end of one side of the box body 1, and the feeding trough body 2 is connected to the inside of the box body 1. A plurality of feeding holes 201 connected to the inside of the feeding trough body 2 are opened on the feeding trough body 2, and a shielding member for preventing squirrels from stealing bird food is provided on the feeding trough body 2. The shielding member includes a baffle 3 and a support rod 302, both ends of the support rod 302 are fixedly connected with a hinged rod 301, the upper end of the hinged rod 301 is fixedly connected to the end of the baffle 3, the hinged rod 301 is rotatably connected to the side of the feeding trough 2 through an axle rod, a torsion spring is sleeved on the axle rod, one end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the side of the box body 1, and the other end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to one side of the hinged rod 301. When the squirrel steps on the hinged rod 301, the baffle 3 can shield the feeding hole 201.

[0022] When in use, the bird food in the box 1 flows into the feeding trough 2. When a lighter bird lands on the support rod 302 to eat, the baffle 3 does not move. If a heavier squirrel jumps onto the support rod 302, the support rod 302 is pressed downward, thereby driving the baffle 3 to rotate toward the feeding hole 201, so that the baffle 3 covers the feeding hole 201, which prevents the squirrel from getting food from the feeding hole 201. When the squirrel leaves, the baffle 3 is reset under the elastic force of the torsion spring, so that the feeding hole 201 is reopened.

[0023] The bird feeder of the utility model has a simple structure. Through the setting of the shielding member, when a small animal with a certain weight such as a squirrel rests on the support rod 302, the baffle 3 can shield the feeding hole 201, thereby effectively preventing the squirrel from stealing bird food and improving the stable use effect of the bird feeder.

[0024] Specifically, the bottom of the box body 1 is inclined. With the above design, when the bird food in the feeding trough body 2 is consumed, the bird food in the box body 1 can flow smoothly into the feeding trough body 2.

[0025] Specifically, a front transparent plate 4 is fixedly mounted on one side of the box body 1 close to the feeding trough body 2, and a camera 5 for photographing birds while they are eating is fixedly mounted on the front transparent plate 4. The above design, through the front transparent plate 4, can make birds see the bird food from a distance, and then can attract the birds, and through the camera 5, the birds eating can be photographed in real time. In order to improve the protection of the camera 5, a groove is formed on the front transparent plate 4, and the camera 5 is located inside the groove.

[0026] Specifically, it also includes a solar panel 6, and a battery for powering the camera 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the solar panel 6 (the battery is connected to the camera 5 by wires), and the battery is electrically connected to the solar panel 6 through a photovoltaic inverter. The above design can continuously charge the battery through the solar panel 6, avoid interfering with the bird's feeding due to battery replacement, realize non-disturbing bird feeding, and enable the bird feeder to be used in environments where power supply is difficult, thereby increasing the scope of application of the bird feeder.

[0027] Specifically, the rear transparent plate 102 is fixedly connected to one side of the box 1 away from the front transparent plate 4. Through this arrangement, birds can penetrate the bird feed in the box 1 from multiple angles, and it is convenient for personnel to penetrate the excess of bird feed in the box 1.

[0028] The above description shows and describes several preferred embodiments of the utility model, but as mentioned above, it should be understood that the utility model is not limited to the form disclosed herein, and should not be regarded as excluding other embodiments, but can be used in various other combinations, modifications and environments, and can be modified within the scope of the utility model concept described herein through the above teachings or the technology or knowledge of the relevant field. The changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art do not deviate from the spirit and scope of the utility model, and should be within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the utility model.
